-Xian Jian's VCD!-
OMG! Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan is out on the VCD shop already!! Its a lot sooner than wat I have expected...But I did not regretting getting its dvd two months+ earlier online lol the dvd quality looks a bit better than vcd...
The feeling of watching the xian jian trailer in the vcd shop is complicated. I mean I do want more people to know this drama. But I feel a little weird when I see so many people started to buy... i remember trying to promote the show and game to my frens.. I hope people could pay more attention to the game after watching this wonderful show. The game just rocks. Anyway if you are reading my blog and you wanna play the game of xian jian, leave a msg on the tag board or look for me in private. I'll be more than glad to help you look for the game. Be sure to visit this xian jian forum!

-Talking about games... and story-
Was talking about games with Raymond-san last night, lol I found out he's pro at gaming. Very pro =x I remember the trip to TM, I was watching him playing the Time Crisis 2... he nearly got to the end with just 1 credit...
After some talking, I found out we belongs to a different group of gamers, he played all types of games - action, adventure, rpg, strategy and real time stuff. But me, I prefer rpg, only rpgs... Maybe some adventure and action at times but I will never bother to complete them. For strategy, I only play Romance of the three kingdoms and KOEI games... no others.
Raymond looks out for game play, graphics and all those in games...
But for me... only one crucial factor, that is the story...
I was never a good gamer, as in I'm never pro in gaming. Gaming is one of my favorite hobby but never my forte. Of course I'm pro-er than those who never touch games before =p but in the sense of understanding the story, I'm confident I'm better than a lot of those gamers. Why? No, no it's not because I write story...
It's because I play games with my heart. It might sound mushy but it's true. I only like rpgs, because you experience the story yourself... not like other types of games... those that you have to focus a lot of the hack and slash stuff.
I told Raymond-san I couldn't pass ff7 disc one, the part that Aeris died. Why? I don't know... I just can't bear to see Aeris die... hmm come to think of it I've cried couple of times for ff7...
Not forgetting my beloved Xian Jian, the FF in the Chinese game industry. I've shed tears for it when Ling-er perishes with the water monster. Those games have a special power, a power to reach out for people's heart. Nothing can be compared to the games. Not movies, dramas...
For the love of FF, Xian Jian and some worthy rpgs I've played, it sort of inspired me to go into story writing.
For story writing - I count it as a mini-forte. Something I'm a little good in.
Somebody once told me "Wining Ek's story writing competition three times doesn't means anything."
Thank you, I'll bear it in mind... for that is exactly what I thought also.
Ek's community is like 300 to 600 frogs living in the well.
I'm one of the frogs that manage to win the story competition three times in a role, but that doesn't means anything. Because, I'm only competing with the frogs in the well and one day I've decided I don't want to be one of them.
Participating in those big competitions allows me to gain experience. But it's also my first try in writing Chinese stories for competition... those short stories written for Ek are English.
Talking about the script competition a couple of months ago, still no news... nevertheless I'm gonna put in more effort in the coming competition!
Some people asked me if I'm afraid to lose. Hmm... I believe there are two types of people, one that really wins and those who make others believe he won.
I'm not going to be the second one. Though I'm aiming to be the first person, I believe it's perfectly alright to lose. You are a braver person to admit defeat, rather than those who believes that they have to win every time.
A lot of people might disagree with what I said though, but if you agree, congrats! You belong to the same group of people with me! =p
Emmy-san!

-thoughts.........-
finally i can have some time to reflect on my thoughts.. im having a week of study week before the exams starts..
my coursework grade? bad..
compared to my As and Bs last sem.. this sem is full of Bs and Cs.. disappointed? yup I'm sure disappointed with myself. who can I blame anyway? I havent been putting in efforts in school work and skipping lots of lectures like nobody business -.- well hope i can get some good grade with my exams and aim to get at least a B for all..
Read christine's blog.. life's unpredictable as it is, unbelievable as it may be.
but again.. no matter what happens life's goes on. I'm pretty glad I'm not troubled by all the love lifes and stuff. hmm come to think of it, how long is it since i last have a crush on someone? lol.... millions of years ago =x
Time Flies... this sem is coming to an end so soon.. nope it had officially ended.. I havent even got my chance to know my class mates more. Well, I'm glad I've gotten myself a good comskill project group though. My most enjoyable times in this class are the times I've spent with them. My sexy and cool leader Justin, cheeky and abit blur nadia =x, ever-so-hardworking and friendly pei lian, serious-in-her-work but easy to talk to fashiha and the fun and loving mad Lynn.. lol.. I'll remember you guys. Well, of course I hope to see you guys in next sem also! Not forgetting my last sem classmates.. you guys are always in my "want to be classmate with" top list!
Enough to talk about school, I'll talk abit on my latest work..
looking for a fresh idea for my new story. Im near to Jiang lang Cai jing.. dunno wat it means? come ask me lol.. no nice songs = no inspiration for story. Hmm im gonna look out for the mtv channels now... waiting for nice songs! Btw... no male chinese pop.. i dun really like those lol..

-A competition..-
I hate school...... why? Too many work too little time!! Ok, let's not talk about school stuff.
Recently, I came across a story writing competition. Its in chinese.. its limited to 5,000 to 20,000 words. Well, for those who know me in story writing, you should know I only know how to drag and write long story lol.. It seems almost impossible for me to shorten any of my story.
The last story I've completed has been sent 3 months ago, but the results are not out yet. That story you have to write at least 80,000 words.. in one month I wrote 100,000+. Its more to a script than a story, stressing more on the tension, highs and lows of the story rather than the language. But this competition is different, it stress more on the language.. well its a big challenge to me. 5,000 to 20,000 by two months, not a difficult thing, means more time to write and think of ideas. Its due on the 10th of May, I'll probably start writing it after the exams.
Now the plot and ideas.... I'll write more when I'm free..
